And if you are ready to lock in another top spot on the Best Decisions of Your Life list and plant yourself in the heart of it all, Flyer Homes latest listing is just the place for that.
People of the world, feast your eyes on 807 N Woodlawn Dr.
Tucked in at the base of Mt Sequoyah and adjacent to Fayetteville’s historic district, this updated and well-maintained home may not be the sole reason Fayetteville keeps making all the best-of lists, but it is smack dab in the middle of all the reasons.
Just a few minutes walk, bike or drive to the downtown square and Dickson St, the U of A and Razorback sports, world class performing arts venues, historic restaurants and diverse food trucks, cozy coffee shops and award-winning cocktail bars, the award-winning public library, the award-winning farmers market … I would not at all be surprised if there was an award-winning trophy and awards shop somewhere close by.
Plans are also in place for the city to extend the trail system on Mission Blvd, so it will eventually be running right past this neighborhood. You can hit the trails right from your from door, and it will make for safe and easy travel to and from Root Elementary, one of the most popular schools in town less than a mile away.
So ten out of ten on location. Let’s dig into the home itself, starting with all the updates that have happened over the last few years. And we are taking the expensive stuff that no one really wants to deal with. The roof was just replaced, every old metal window in the house was replaced with new more energy efficient vinyl windows, original hardwood floors were restored, and the siding was replaced with long-lasting cement fiberboard. Those are some high dollar projects that you will pretty much never have to think about.
No less cheap but a little more fun was the complete, down to the studs kitchen remodel, which introduced gleaming quartz counters, new appliances (including gas range), lots of cabinets and open shelves, a deep under-mount sink, room for three at the bar, and those matte black hexagonal floor tiles. So custom.
The kitchen opens up to the formal dining area and living room, and I can’t say enough about the size of this room. Enormous, especially for a house of its era. Plenty of room to gather with friends to watch the Hogs play, but also perfect for just snugging up near the gas fireplace to thumb through all your TikToks and Tweet-o-grams®.
Finally, we have to talk about the lower level and flexibility of that space. Complete with a huge greatroom, second full kitchen, two bedrooms, a full bath, and with access from both the main level and from outside, you’ve got options. The current owner lives upstairs and Airbnbs the lower level for some extra income. This is also the perfect set up for parents looking to buy for their incoming U of A students to live and collect rent from the roommates. It also works perfectly as a mother-in-law suite. Or just buy it as a house that happens to have an extra kitchen. Put a big ol’ TV down in the second living room and use it as your entertainment level.
